Today, acclaimed filmmaker Wes Anderson has given us all a break from the never-ending onslaught of Star Wars-related news by sharing a new poster for his upcoming stop-motion animated feature ISLE OF DOGS.
The poster depicts the animation's main character, Atari Kobayashi, surrounded by a pack of mischievous dogs. In my estimation, the art is busy and bright, which makes for a fun poster that's bound to get Anderson fans excited for his newest stop-motion animated film since 2009's FANTASTIC MR. FOX.
You can check out the new poster below:
ISLE OF DOGS tells the story of ATARI KOBAYASHI, 12-year-old ward to corrupt Mayor Kobayashi. When, by Executive Decree, all the canine pets of Megasaki City are exiled to a vast garbage-dump called Trash Island, Atari sets off alone in a miniature Junior-Turbo Prop and flies across the river in search of his bodyguard-dog, Spots. There, with the assistance of a pack of newly-found mongrel friends, he begins an epic journey that will decide the fate and future of the entire Prefecture.
The poster appeared online courtesy of Anderson's Instagram account, which you can see for yourself right here:
The project boasts an impressive ensemble cast of which includes: Scarlett Johansson, Greta Gerwig, Francis McDormand, Edward Norton, Jeff Goldblum, Bryan Cranston, Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray, Liev Schreiber, Fisher Stevens, Kara Hayward, Harvey Keitel, F. Murray Abraham, Courtney B. Vance, and Ken Wantanabe. Each star will lend their voices to what's sure to be a doggone good time!
ISLE OF DOGS will find its way into theaters beginning on March 23, 2018.
